Built In Function To Search The Occurence Of Char In String
Jan 10, 2008
Hi Everyone-
i woder if someone know Built in function to search the occurence of char in string in T-SQL
and iam not talking about the Index of the first occurence (e.g CHARINDEX )
but it is more generic
i want to send to the function to ask about the index the second or the third or N occurence of the char.
and i wonder if it is built in for performance reasons
example
getseachIndex("M|d|d","|",2)==> the result is 4
The 'LIKE' function looks for words that start with whatever is in the like condition. Is there an sql function similar but will look and compare at any part of the search string.
For example I am using a webservice in dot net to populate a dropdown list using this sql
SELECT compound_name FROM dbo.compound_name WHERE compound_name like @prefixText
In this table there is a compound called SILCAP310 and I would like the search function to pick up 310 if I put this into the @prefix parameter. (but I would still like the search to perform like the 'LIKE' does also.
SELECT compound_name FROM dbo.compound_name WHERE compound_name like @prefixText or compound_name SearchPartString @prefixText
Hi ...I have a weblog database where I want to count the occurences of atable of string values that appear in all the urls viewed.My tblWebLog as a field that contains the url ...tblWebLog.[cs-uri-stem]I have another table ... tblStrings ... that has a field [strSearch]for a string value and an integer field [intViewCount] to count theoccurence of the string in tblWebLog.[cs-uri-stem]I've been trying ...Update tblStringsSet [intViewCount] = (Select Count(*) From tblWebLog Where[cs-uri-stem] Like '%_' + tblStrings.[strSearch] + '.htm%').... but it doesn't fly and I'm stumped. Any thoughts?Cheers.
Hi All, I want to extract a numeric value from a string. Example, in a string like - Mgmt Pack: Processor Exception Threshold >80% Every 10 Minutes. - I want to extract that number 80. Since, later I'll want this number to plot a graph.
Since this is going to be an alert pulled from OnePoint (MOM Operational Database), the number will vary, and so I cannot look for the same number. So, can anyone help me how to get this working?
Thanks a lot in advance and let me know if the question is not clear.
Hi All!!! I was tasked to come up with a search function and the content of the database given to me is in Chinese Characters. This would be my first time dealing with Chinese characters in the database and I need help with the following problem: The company wants to conduct the search in such a way that, instead of having the system read the entire sentence/phrase which the user keyed in as a SINGLE string, they want the Chinese Characters to be accessed individually, so that as long as any information in the database contains any one of the characters which the user have entered, they will be retrieved and returned. So how do I go about doing this? Does it have anything to do with Unicode? By the way, everything abt the search tool is working fine, I am just left with this dilemma of having the system recognise the entire sentence as ONE STRING, instead of conducting a search word by word or character by character. Anyway, the following is the SQL statement of my SQL Data Source which is bound to a Gridview displaying the returned results after a search is done...1 SELECT Name, Trans, Address1, Address1T, Address2, Address2T, City, CityT, CRPLID 2 FROM CRPL 3 WHERE (Trans LIKE '%' + @Trans + '%') OR 4 (Name LIKE '%' + @Name + '%') OR 5 (Address1 LIKE '%' + @Address1 + '%') OR 6 (Address1T LIKE '%' + @Address1T + '%') OR 7 (Address2 LIKE '%' + @Address2 + '%') OR 8 (Address2T LIKE '%' + @Address2T + '%') OR 9 (City LIKE '%' + @City + '%') OR 10 (CityT LIKE '%' + @CityT + '%')
Hi, Is there some kind of built in function in SQl to look for the presence of certain characters in a table collumn.I have to replace the text in those collumns with different text or just use substr, instr functions. Thanks in advance
I have read all of the messages related to the above problem and none have solved the issue. We have migrated a SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005. Detached from one and attached to the other and then based on some of the conversation I also used the SQL Server 2005's copy option and copied the database. Detached the old one and renamed the new database which was created in the copy process to the old name. Basically getting back to where I started. By the way there are no triggers generated during the process (as was mentioned), nothing to delete as some of the discussion was suggesting. Big databse, lots of tables and stored procedures. All screens seem to work except when we try to update some data using a stored procedure which takes the data and updates the table. End up getting the above error during the execution. All used to work fine with SQL Server 2000. I have taken the SQL out of the stored procedure and executed manually and it worked but leaving the stored procedure alone and calling it with the updated data we get the INITCOLVS problem. The database is also set to be compatible to 90 so that suggestion also has not fixed the problem. Looking for additional suggestions and solutions. Some one was talking about making a dummy INITCOLVS function, have not done this yet but don't particularly like this suggestion, like to know the cause and the proper solution to the problem. Again in summary: Migrated SQL 2000 database to 2005 Have done the copy and attach process to make sure the whole conversion to SQL Server 2005 has taken place. Have set the compatibility of the database to 90 Updates cause the above error.
how to format the last part of this query which comes from Access.:
SELECT Max(TITLOC.TitleLocID) AS MaxOfTitleLocID, TITLES.TitleID, TITLES.CustLName, TITLES.CustFName, TITLES.RecDT, TITLES.TitleID FROM (TITLES_WARNING_SENT_qry RIGHT JOIN TITLES ON TITLES_WARNING_SENT_qry.TitleID = TITLES.TitleID) INNER JOIN TITLOC ON TITLES.TitleID = TITLOC.TitleID WHERE TITLES_WARNING_SENT_qry.TitleID Is Null GROUP BY TITLES.CustLName, TITLES.CustFName, TITLES.RecDT, TITLES.TitleID, TITLES.TitleID HAVING (TITLES.RecDT<Date()-31)
I am getting: 'Date' is not a recognized built-in function name.
It is probably something simple but how would I go about converting this part "HAVING (TITLES.RecDT<Date()-31)" to something SQL Server is happy with?
I am trying to pull a report with average down time and I getting the error message "Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 4 'AVG' is not a recognized built-in function name." when I try to run the below query. How can I rephrase the AVG(DateDiff) line to calculate this for me?
SELECT TT.PartNumber ,AVG (TT.TimeToRepair) as [Avg Time to Repair (Hours)] ,AVG(DateDiff (hour,TT.TimeDateReported,TT.DateClosed) as [Turnaround Time(Hours)]) FROM dbo.vt_TroubleTicket TT WHERE TT.Closed = '-1' and TT.DateClosed between '1/1/2013' and '1/1/2014' and (TT.PartNumber = '12345') GROUP BY TT.PartNumber
why I am getting this error on the SQl Server 2005 but not getting it on the SQL Server Express? and how to ifx?

I have a table which I need to analyze, what jobs this is working with, what stored procedure is calling this table etc. Is there any built-in function to show me or anybody know how to do it? This is my new job, and there are hundreds of stored procedures and jobs, do i really have to go thru one by one?
I have a text field in a table that contains number along with chars.Is there a way i can write a query to show all the fields that containsjust Numbers or Char in a field??TBALE ExampleCOL1 : COL2(nvarchar)---------------------------100 345G01200 123456789300 GQ9220
Hi guys, first post here. It's been a few years since I've worked with ODBC, so I'm a bit rusty. I'm having trouble figuring out how to use a char* string as a parameter for a SELECT statement. I'm trying to compare the contents of a varchar column (with size=20) against the string.
When SQLFetch() runs, it returns 100 (SQL_NO_DATA). If I type the query manually into my Enterprise Manager console, I get several results, so I know the query is correct. Any idea what I might be doing wrong with the ODBC calls?
I am attempting to find quotes (") in a column and replace with the string '--THIS-WAS-QUOTES--'. Right now my script only converts the first quote it finds in the description column, converts to the string and moves to the next row leaving the other quotes as they were. Below is my query script

#1 This stored procedure can be used to search and replace substring in the char, nchar, varchar and nvarchar columns in all tables in the current database. You should pass the text value to search and the text value to replace. So, to replace all char, nchar, varchar and nvarchar columns which contain the substring 'John' with the substring 'Bill', you can use the following (in comparison with the SetTbColValues stored procedure, this stored procedure replace only substring, not the entire column's value):
I have a table where this one column(varchar) has rows of data with a period at the end of the string. Is there any function I could use to remove all the periods?
I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
I have used a query statement with the following WHERE string to 'Fill' a dataset. "AND (A.ApptsDate > '" & strApptPreDate & "' OR (A.ApptsDate = '" & strApptPreDate & "' AND A.ApptsTime >= '" & strApptPreTime & "' ))" & _ and strApptPreTime is defined as:Dim strApptPreTime As String = SomaShared.strPadTime(CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Hour) + ":" + CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Minute))
Somehow, the dataset showed only the ApptsTime after 10 am. After more than 2 weeks of debugging, I still can see a dataset watch for > 10 amAppsTime only. Now I am guessting, the problem is 9 is different from 10 - 16, it all because 9 is single digit. Then I check the data type settings for these variables. Here are what I found: In SQL Server Agent job, the ApptsTime data was 'inserted' by @NewApptTimes, which is declared as char(5).In SQL Server database, the ApptsTime was defined as nvarchar(15). My question are: 1. The reason why there were no 9 am data for the dataset, is becasue 9 am of nvarchar(15) is not > 8:30 of strApptPreTime? 2. If the answer to the quation 1 is yes, how do I define AppsTime and/or strApptPreTime? TIA,Jeffrey
I've been trying to return hex data in a way that can be concatenated. I need the actual hex info (e.g. 0x6E3C070) as displayed since it contains info about the path to a file. So I can turn it into D:6E3C 7 to get the path to the file. In searching around I have come across a way to do this but can't figure out how to get it to run through a column and either display or insert into a table multiple results.
-Here's the user function that converts an integer into a hex string-
CREATE FUNCTION udf_hex_string (@i int) RETURNS varchar(30) AS BEGIN DECLARE @vb varbinary(8) SET @vb = CONVERT(varbinary(8),@i) DECLARE @hx varchar(30) EXEC master..xp_varbintohexstr @vb, @hx OUT RETURN @hx END GO
--'PageStoreId' contains the data that needs to be converted into the editable hex string --'HexString' is where I'd like it to go so I can parse it later.
--I can run the below select and get the hex string. But am stuck on how to run a select or update that would run through the 'XPages.PagestoreId' column and insert the hex string into the 'XPages.Hexstring' column. 'XPages.PagestoreId' could have 100's of entries that need to be converted and placed in the relevant the 'XPages.Hexstring' column.
where the job_type columIn is of the char(1) type, NTBSTRINGBIND is the vartype argument in the dbbind() function.
However, what I have gotten is nothing more than a null string from the job_type column. I have alternatively changed the vartype argument to STRINGBIND, CHARBIND and even INTBIND, but the results are the same.
Who can tell me the tricks to retrieve a char(1) column from SQL server?
Hi, What is the difference updating a null value to char/varchar type column
versus empty string to char/varchar type column?Which is the best to do and why? Could anyone explain about this?
Example:
Table 1 : tCountry - Name varchar(80) nullable Table 2 :tState - Name char(2) nullable Table 3 :tCountryDetails - countryid,state (char(2) nullable) - May the country contain state or no state So,when the state is not present for the country ,i have two options may be - null,'' tCountryDetails.State = '' or tCountryDetails.State = null?
I am trying to write a used car search function I want the user to be able to select a MAKE from the 1st drop down list and a MODEL from the second drop down list and click a button and for the data to be shown in a gridview, the code below is what I have so far and works i.e when user selects a make it shows all cars for that make, but now how do I take it further and add the model on there so that when the user selects i.e BMW as make and Z3 for model it only shows all BMW Z3'S
Here is the code behind the page Protected Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from [used] where make like '%" & ddmake.Text & "%'" SqlDataSource1.DataBind() End Sub
We are in the process of developing an onlinestore like www.componentsource.com.We need to search for a product within our website.We already created pages using html.I have to take the 1st para of the product description and display. I don't want to save the description in the table how to do it?
